Calculate the mass of magnesium needed to make 25g of magnesium oxide​ mark brainliest of correct xx

15g

Explanation:

First, you need to correct the answer to the previous question. The percentage by mass of Mg in MgO =

Mg = 24.3 amu

O = 16.0 amu

The total mass of MgO = 40.3 amu

To calculate the percent composition of Mg:

% = 24.3/40.3 x 100

% = 60

To calculate the mass of Mg needed to make 25g of MgO:

x/25g = 60%/100%

100x = (25)(60)

100x = 1500

x = 15g
